Molly stretched down and reached for the illusive tooth with both hands. I was shocked,” she said to the media. I thought I was having a dream. It was difficult for me to accept it was true.
Instead of keeping her inspirational find to herself, the young girl brought it to her local museum so that it might be examined. They were ecstatic, she remembered later.
Megalodon teeth have frequently been discovered along the Calvert Cliffs, according to Stephen Godfrey, curator of paleontology at the Calvert Marine Museum. However, one that large is quite rare. The object is 15 million years old, according to estimates.

In a Facebook post, the museum stated, “We love seeing and hearing about the gems you find on the shore.” They also mentioned their “First Fossil Friday” program, which helps people like Molly identify fossils. Molly and the rest of the group should have many more wonderful beach days, we hope.
